HRSA HIV/AIDS Bureau (HAB) has
requested approval to create a new monthly, aggregate data report
to collect information on activities to prevent or minimize the
impact of COVID-19 on Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP) clients
and organizations. Respondents are providers who use FY 2020
Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act funding
to provide RWHAP core medical or support services to eligible
clients and immediate household members. This information is needed
to comply with federal requirements to monitor funds distributed
under the CARES Act.
The Health Resources and
Services Administration (HRSA) is requesting an expedited review
from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for a new data
collection module to support the HRSA HIV/AIDS Bureau (HAB)
requirement to monitor and report on funds distributed under the
fiscal year (FY) 2020 Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic
Security (CARES) Act. Signed into law on March 27, 2020, the CARES
Act appropriated $90 million to the HRSA HAB Ryan White HIV/AIDS
Program (RWHAP) to prevent, prepare for, and respond to coronavirus
disease 2019 (COVID-19). This additional funding was awarded to
eligible RWHAP recipients on April 15, 2020, with an initial data
reporting requirement due 30 days later.
This is a new ICR so burden
increases from zero (0).
